Theorem

Let {Xt}tT\{X_t\}_{t \in T} be a Gaussian process, and let T0T1TT_0 \subseteq T_1 \subseteq \dots \subseteq T be a sequence of subsets such that |T0|=1\lvert T_0 \rvert = 1 and |Tn|22n\lvert T_n \rvert \leq 2^{2^n} for n1n \geq 1. Then,

𝔼[suptTXt]O(1)suptTn02n/2d(t,Tn)\mathbb{E}[\sup_{t \in T} X_t] \leq O(1) \sup_{t \in T} \sum_{n \geq 0} 2^{n/2} d(t,T_n)

where for s,tTs,t \in T, the canonical distance is defined as d(s,t)=𝔼|XsXt|2d(s,t) = \sqrt{\mathbb{E}\lvert X_s - X_t \rvert^2}
